RE: Approval of a request by Genesee County's Drain Commissioner to abandon an easement on a county owned property
recommendation
BOARD ACTION REQUESTED:
Authorization to release easement
BACKGROUND:
In 2005, CW Development LLC granted water and sewer easements to Genesee County Drain Commissioner Office Division of Water and Waste Services for the proposed development commonly referred to as Arden Glen. The land is located in section five of Mundy Township on the north side of Hill Road west of Linden Road. The Arden Glen project has been abandoned and the property has changed hands. The current owners Maple and Hill LLC have requested that the easement be terminated. GCDC-WWS has reviewed the document and has determined that the granted easements are no longer necessary to provide service to the site. As you are aware the GCDCWWS operates as the County Agency per Public Act 342 of 1939 et.al. While the Act allows the County Agency to accept easements on behalf of the County, the Act does require County Board action to terminate easements. Therefore, we are requesting the County Board to authorize the termination of the attached easements. Upon approval of the board, the County Agency will execute the termination and file the necessary paperwork with the clerk's office. Should you have any questions or need further comment do not hesitate to contact this office.
